Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Richele Christensen to our blog for another gorgeous idea to bring this fabulous Tim Holtz Palette Fabric to life! Read on and enjoy!

Hello friends! Richele here and I’m back with another sewing project. We will be using the Tim Holtz Palette Neutral for our Pocketful of Sunshine Bag by “a Spoonful of Sugar”. I really loved working with Neutral Palette but this project would be fun in any of the color from the Palette collection The drawstring bag features a cute divided pocket in the front for holding little things and would be great to use for a special gift, a snack bag, makeup, maybe some craft / sewing supplies or just for fun. Our project is Fat Quarter friendly and is good for the beginner to the expert sewist. I think it’s so fun that the lining is a pop of color.

Gather your sewing supplies and lets get started!

Instructions:

1. Cut pieces out according to the instructions.
2. Sew the pocket panels together.
3. Sew the top and bottom edge of the pocket lining to pocket panels rights sides together. Turn right sides out lining up the bottom edge and press. You should have a little reveal of the red at the top of the pocket.  Top stitch at the top 1/8” from edge.
4. Pin pocket panel to the front bag pieces as shown in instructions. Sew pocket  to the front panel.
5. Sew the bag exterior right sides together and the lining pieces right side together. Don’t forget to leave a little opening for turning. Press seams open.
6. Pin the top edge right sides together and sew around the top edge. Turn right side out and press the top edge. Top stitch close the the top edge and the channel for the drawstring. Insert drawstring from either side and knot the ends.
7. How cute is the little “Pocketful of Sunshine Bag”

I plan on making more of these cute bags for gifts. How cute would they be with a gift card from Simon Says Stamp in the pocket and some fun craft supplies for your friend. Thanks for joining me today! What is your favorite color from the Palette release so far? -Richele
